<div id="description_text_headlines"><div><strong>The avant-gardist</strong></div><div> </div></div><div id="description_text">The influence of the <strong>Austrian architect and designer Josef Hoffmann</strong> (1870-1956) is extraordinary: for a period of over 60 years he kept up an aesthetic dialog with Modernism, the International Style, and Art Deco. Before being rediscovered in the 1980s by the Post-Modernists, his work was nearly forgotten; now his importance is unquestioned. As a designer he was one of the leading proponents of the Wiener Werkstätte, with its close connection to the Arts and Crafts movement. As an architect, he built the first modern buildings in Europe, such as the <strong>Purkersdorf Sanatorium</strong> (1904) and the <strong>Palais Stoclet</strong> (1905-1911). Traversing several styles and schools during his lifetime, his work shows a consistent Formalism. He abandoned Functionalism long before it became obsolete. In a historic sense, Hoffmann was doubly avant-garde: in both the rise and fall of Modernism.</div><div> </div><div id="series_text" style="display: block;"><strong>About the Series:</strong><br>Each book in TASCHEN’s Basic Architecture Series features:<ul><li>an introduction to the life and work of the architect</li><li>the major works in chronological order</li><li>information about the clients, architectural preconditions as well as construction problems and resolutions</li><li>a list of all the selected works and a map indicating the locations of the best and most famous buildings</li><li>approximately 120 illustrations (photographs, sketches, drafts and plans)</li></ul></div>
